The Mexico March for Life took place on April 23rd with approximately 15,000 people in attendance. These people marched to promote the right of each and every human being to life and the idea that there is a place for everyone in our society. In addition, this March urges support for pregnant woman in need and person-centered responses to the issues Mexico is currently dealing with.

The March this year specifically demanded legal protection of the preborn in the new Constitution of Mexico City that will be drafted in the coming months. Every human being has dignity which must be respected. Human rights are grounded in human dignity, and therefore lawmakers should prioritize the first and most fundamental of human rights, the right to life.

This year’s march included not only several representatives of Mexican Congress , public icons, youth groups and civil society organizations, but also whole families in support of the cause. This is the 5th March for Life in Mexico and WYA’s 3rd year attending. The WYA LA Staff was happy to be present to promote a society where no one is left behind.
